I don't know of any fiberglass ones, but Katech has a great carbon fiber one with a lexan window:

You can see that with their decklid you'll have a "split window" look!!!!

I use to have a 1985 vette coupe and i removed the rear glass and installed a fiberglass trunk hatch and painted it to match the car. The hatch has a small flat rear glass window and then it looks like the car has a trunk like a convert. I hope i explained it better.

Ohhhh!!! You're talking about something like the C5 FRC (Fixed Roof Coupe).
No - I don't know of anybody that makes that mod for the C6, but it might be out there somewhere.

nope...it is the same size of the rear glass. however it is made of fiberglass and has a short side wall on each side with a flat back glas window. The fiberglass trunk hatch can be painted.

Sounds interesting to me. I'm not a big hatch fan which is why I have a Vert. Any aftermarket entrepeatooters out there in vendor world?
